War on Women? Watch This Ad

Oct 2, 2012

RUSH: We have audio here to a great ad by the Susan B. Anthony List. It is an ad. It’s a devastating anti-Obama infanticide ad. It’s October, now, folks. It’s October, and the ads are starting to show it. I want you to listen to this and ask yourself how this stacks up to the Democrats’ talk about their phony War on Women.

MELISSA OHDEN: Many children, more than you might think, actually survive failed abortions and are born alive. I know, because I’m one of them. I was aborted and my body discarded like I didn’t exist. But a nurse heard me crying and cared enough to save my life. There’s something else you may not know. When he was in the Illinois state senate, Barack Obama voted to deny basic, constitutional protections for babies born alive from an abortion.

RUSH: Oh Lordy.

MELISSA OHDEN: Not once, but four times.

RUSH: Oh, no.

MELISSA OHDEN: I know it’s by the grace of God I’m alive today, if only to ask America this question: “Is this the kind of leadership that will move us forward, that would discard the weakest among us?” How will you answer?

RUSH: Can you…? I want you to put yourself in the place of someone who didn’t know this, ’cause all of you in this audience know about Obama’s stand on infanticide. You know that as a state senator in Illinois, he voted four times to allow babies who survived abortions to be killed, ’cause that was the original intent of the mother. This legislation would allow a second doctor to come in and finish the job after the abortion doctor botched it to save the original doctor any emotional distress. They’d bring a second guy in to…

And it happened, and Obama was an activist on this. He didn’t vote “present.” He was one of the leaders on this legislation, and that’s why the whole thing about Obama and infanticide in certain sectors is an issue. I want you to imagine yourself not knowing a thing about this, and you hear this ad. In fact, Mike, I want you to play this thing again. I want you to try to imagine yourself having no knowledge whatsoever of Obama and his role in Illinois in making sure that babies who survived abortions were nevertheless killed. You don’t know anything, you’ve never heard that, and this ad comes along.

RUSH: Now, the ad doesn’t specifically say what Obama did. It just says that Obama “voted to deny basic, constitutional protections for babies born alive.” You’re supposed to conclude, “Whoa! Obama voted to allow babies who survived abortions to die?” They don’t really say that. You are to conclude it by putting two and two together. “Basic constitutional protections.” Of course the Declaration: “The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

“Is this the kind of leadership will move us forward, that would discard the weakest among us?” I wonder what your reaction to this ad would be. (interruption) Yeah, the babies are breathing. I mean, they’re alive. They’re alive. They survived the abortion. The ad’s done by such a woman. If you don’t know anything about this and you’re hearing it for the first time, what is your reaction to that ad?

You say, “I don’t believe that. I… I… What are they saying?”

That has got to shock people out of their wazoo.

And you know there are a lot of people don’t know anything about that regarding Obama.
